Reporter 82

President’s Message

During my recent travels I’ve been struck by how much road construction is going on in each place. This led me to thinking about the challenges construction professionals face daily. There is constant pressure on heavy construction companies to become more efficient, and many of them are finding efficiency gains through digitisation. In Reporter 82, we share the stories of heavy construction pro-fessionals who are making the leap to digital construction and not looking back.

When operators are guided by innovations of precision, there is increased time savings and decreased rework. The professionals at BetonblastHæhre are realising these benefits as they work on two large projects for the Norwegian Public Road Administration. With more than 300 of its construction machines outfitted with machine control solutions, BetonblastHæhre’s operators are able to dig, excavate and drill to precise depths with complete confidence. Back in the office, engineers use the latest Geosystems construction software to directly communicate with the machines and ensure all operators are working with the most current information.

In heavy construction projects, safety is an utmost concern. When information about deformation or local disturbances is supplied in real time, construction professionals can make better informed choices and avoid possible disasters. When Tritech Engineering & Testing (S) Pte Ltd was contracted to monitor a 2-kilometre road surface above tunnels during a major railway construction project of the Singapore Land Transport Authority, the firm developed an Automatic Road Monitoring System (ARMS) using Geosystems monitoring solutions. The ARMS was able to wirelessly deliver critical information, resulting in not only a safer project but also significant cost savings overall.

我们都知道平坦的表面为汽车提供了最佳的骑行。因此，当测试新的自动驾驶车辆时，轨道需要尽可能平滑，以测试转弯握把摩擦和过度转移的稳定性。在匈牙利的Zalaegerszeg汽车试验场，HírösGeoKFT使用地理系统激光扫描技术来提供铺路质量保证。土地测量，工程和公用事业公司的大地测量公司能够提供轨道的3D点云，确保仅在计划设计的毫米内偏离沥青的顶部基准板。专家以34.5亿次测量的点捕获了点，并减少了所需的时间和成本。

When heavy construction professionals digitise operations, efficiencies are found across the entire life cycle of a project – from design to maintenance. We are honoured to work with the heavy construction industry, helping professionals realise these gains in cost and time savings and increased safety.
